Dear cluster users,

GPU sharding is now available on the OMNI cluster.
GPU sharding enables the parallel use of a GPU by multiple Slurm jobs, this allows a more efficient use of our GPU resources.
Please check if the use of GPU Sharding is feasible for your computations.

More information is available on our website:

Dear Cluster users,

due to the current situation we turned off about 15 % of our compute-nodes as an energy-saving measure.

We apologize for any inconveniences.

Dear cluster users,

in the upcoming winter semester 22/23 we offer once again our C++ introduction course. It will be held by our team member Verena Betge and will cover the basics of programming in general and in C++ specifically. The course is intended for absolute programming newbies. The course will be held in German.

Unlike our other courses, this course will not be held in a single block, but rather distributed over the semester’s lecture period. The first date is October 17, 2022, there will be 9 blocks overall. The blocks will be held every Monday 10:15-11:45.

The course is available to all students and employees. There is no prerequisite knowledge.

If you are interested, please send an email to verena.betge@uni-siegen.de.

For more information about topics and dates (in German), please go to the course page: https://cluster.uni-siegen.de/kurs/weekly-course-c-introduction-german-starting-october-17-2022/?lang=en
